After eleven years in practice, and as a busy plastic surgeon with vast experience in breast augmentation as well as breast augmentation revision, I am still perplexed by the number of patients who only come to a few “post-operative” appointments and then no longer follow up with their plastic surgeon. This is not simply unique to my practice, as this […]

As plastic surgeons, we are trained to use a very refined eye to try to achieve the best appearance in anything we do. For breast augmentation, something I specialize in and have for nearly 11 years in practice, this involves striving to create the best shape and symmetry for the breasts. It is even commonplace at national meetings for plastic […]

I have a number of patients for whom I perform extremely finesse work on their lips. Injecting lips and striving for subtle “augmentation” of the lips is something I have always endeavored to be at the forefront of since I went into practice 11 years ago. In my opinion, bigger is not better. Many of patients I see may have […]

Over time, the majority of women begin to experience some degree of drooping and/or volume loss in the breasts due to pregnancy, breastfeeding, changes in weight, or simply the process of aging. Depending on the severity of breast sagging and volume loss, individuals interested in rejuvenating the appearance of their breasts may greatly benefit from either a breast augmentation, breast […]

The majority of women experience some degree of “tissue deflation” in the breasts after the cessation of breastfeeding, and breast augmentation can often be an excellent way to restore this lost volume. There are numerous types of breast implants that can […]

If you notice irregularities in regard to the size and/or positioning of your implants immediately after breast augmentation, it’s not time to panic. Some initial swelling in the breasts is a common side effect of surgery, and it often occurs in varying degrees that may make the breasts appear uneven in the first few days – or even weeks – […]

A number of studies have been conducted on wearing compression garments following liposuction, and evidence suggests that doing so can be extremely helpful. In my professional opinion, patients who wear a compression garment as advised by their surgeon generally experience a quicker recovery from swelling, bruising, edema, and/or other potential side effects that may occur after liposuction. That said, not […]

In plastic surgery, a “dog ear” refers to puckering of the skin that is sometimes apparent at the end of a scar, particularly after procedures that involve some degree of skin tightening. These can occur when skin beyond the end of the scar is looser than skin along the scar itself, often creating a small mound of excess skin where […]

At Boynton Plastic Surgery, all breast augmentation procedures I perform are subpectoral, meaning the implants are placed under the muscle. Following surgery, the top of the breasts initially appear excessively full because the muscle tightens right away. As the skin and muscle relaxes and stretches to accommodate added chest volume, the implants gradually “settle” into place. During this time, the […]
